PALM BAY, Fla. -- An arrested 12-year-old looks like he should be playing kickball and video games instead of being handcuffed and thrown into the back of a police car and then crying in his mug shot.

The boy stands just four feet tall and weighs just 54 pounds, but apparently the little 12-year-old has a big temper. He was arrested for viciously attacking his pregnant school counselor and is now facing two felony charges, battery on a pregnant female and battery on a school official.

The 12-year-old started running away from his teachers and was about to jump the fence when the counselors tried to stop him and that's when he got mad.

"Next time, it's not going to be a pleasant visit! You go to school to learn!" a Palm Bay officer told Jason Lord as he got into a squad car.

Lord was arrested for throwing sticks and rocks at a pregnant counselor and then hitting a second counselor.

"They tried to get him under control and threw sticks and one, who was pregnant, the other one he was kicking several times and put bruises on her legs," explained Officer Dan Fisher, Palm Bay Police Department.

Sixth graders at Christa McAuliffe Elementary School were playing soccer during PE class when one student said Lord did not want to participate, so he was scolded by another teacher.

"He just stated walking, like pouting. All the teachers started walking with him. Finally, he goes and jumps the fence and starts running," student Eric Barroso told Eyewitness News.

A couple of counselors tried to prevent Lord from leaving school and that's when he got violent. According to the arrest affidavit, Lord screamed at school officials, "B****, I'm going to kill you and him" and he was "flipping 'the bird' at them."

Police said the child did not show any emotion until he was taken away in a police car.

"We were driving away from the school and he started begging, 'Let me have a second chance,'" Fisher explained. "I said, 'You had your second chance.'"

Lord was expected to spend the night at the Juvenile Detention Center and school officials said he could be expelled.

In August, another 12-year-old, Shawn Rodderick, was arrested for using a BB gun to rob a Kirkman Road Walgreens. The boy said he wanted money to buy school clothes.

Tiny Austin Mohr was arrested in March for threatening to kill his classmates in a Columbine-style attack at DeLand Middle School.
